Feel free to post it here so we can see it and analyse it together. Do you know what you did right? Can you tell? If you don't ask AI to tell you! @LaToya Wiggins gave me this idea and I created an agent to analyse my content. Here is how I did it: - I asked it to read all of my public writings here, on classifieds and other public places where I'm active - Asked to evaluate the best peforming ones and describing the patterns in them - Asked to search for trends on viral topics and also tips from experts to see how I could improve them - Than I created the agent and ran it to create a content strategy specifically for my ICP, with topics to talk about and a sequence that makes the algorythm know who I am in order to promote me to the right people. Made some adjustments and now I have more clarity than ever on what I should post. Now I have an AI agent that knows my voice, knows my takes, analyses what topic will work best if I talk and why. And that's incredibly valuable. Just like @Chris K. Davidson I don't like to use AI to write texts, but being able to use it as a marketing consultant to know what to talk about and how to fit my takes in different places following the guidance of the market and the metrics for the trends is very handy.

@Dave Hughes yes, that's the plan, but haven't done the deep dive on it yet, just using information from it to create my own posts.

@Dave Hughes the Brand ID that you did for me. I haven't dropped that into any AI machine to try and create posts and what not from it.

@Chris K. Davidson Don't be hard on yourself, we all go through this. Failures, pivots, etc., we all do it. I started my community over a year ago and it's only been within the last few months that I think I may have what I'm going to do with it figured out. It's more important to just keep trying and adapting on the journey there.

@Chris K. Davidson This is much better. Lean into what you know. You can still break this down further once you start talking to your potential clients. Dial in the offer to fit them rather than use the same one for everyone.
Roast this video please
Would this make you curious enough to purchase?

So I would say that my comments are the same as the other people here. You are quite clear and easy to listen to, but I don't think too many people will watch it all of the way through. I see this interaction between kids and their parents a lot in public, so I can imagine that there is a pain point here. I have my own theories about how to solve it and why it happens, but many times it seems that it's the fault of the parents, so not sure you can handle that part of it, but I'm sure the parents that are coming to you are willing to change their behavior to achieve these results.

@Paulo Costa, The Roaster 3 good points and what my wife and I tried to follow in raising our kids.
Don’t do something for free - give a discount instead.
[Roast my Lesson] We all have our various Discovery or Clarity calls that we offer for free. This is pretty standard, but after that first call, start charging for your time. I think it’s best to charge your full fee, whatever that is. If you feel that you want to give your potential client a break or you need to reduce the price for whatever reason, (which isn’t a good idea) give a discount instead. Why does this matter? If you give everything away for free, all of the time, you’ll throw away your value. If you give them a discount, you’re still holding on to your value, but you have to tell them it’s a discount so they know what your normal fees are. The discount can be whatever you want it to be. You can also call it whatever you want it to be. Beta tester discount Pilot program discount Black Friday discount 10th caller discount It doesn’t have to follow a specific rule, because guess what? You are creating the rules, it’s your business. Tell them the full price. Tell them the discount. They now realize that there’s a value to it and not just a freebie to ignore. I recently signed a client this way and it’s really been working out for us. Let me know your thoughts about it.

@Aimee Jardon I can get behind that too because I think there are different types of free as well, or maybe different results? I'm not quite sure. There are going to be people that are looking for free or discounted that are totally invested in what they are getting. They may just be doing those first steps and don't have the money to spend. I've been there and valued whatever I could get. This can maybe be called the "good" free? The "bad" free are the people that want something and just don't attribute the value to it and don't want to pay for anything, even when they have the resources to do so. They don't really care. Maybe that's the differentiation between the two?

@Rasheed Hooda Thanks so much for this. I do agree, this is not a dead set, one size fits all declaration. For myself, it's more of a guide. Mainly as an illustration that at some point, you have to charge for what you do. It would be interesting to hear more about how you are doing your thing. I'm always willing to learn from people who have been through it and figuring it out. I'm working my way up to selling a Bentley 😀
I was slacking on my testimonials. Do they suck less now?
